THINGS TO SEE IN SAN FRANCISCO: TRAVEL GUIDE!

On my last post I mentioned I'll be out of town on a weekend getaway, so today I'm here to tell you all about it! This was my first time visiting San Francisco...it called and I answered!!! 😂

It was one unforgettable experience! So different and interesting from what I'm used to here in Las Vegas. Starting from the way of life to the unique houses and the curvy uphill streets that were a whole workout trying to walk up and down. Yep, it felt like a completely different world, which was fun to dive into for these three days that I was there! While in San Fran, I was able to see most of everything we had planned to see with three months of researching in advance before flying out. So, today I wanted to share with you my impressions and the top places you must check-off your San Francisco list. I hope this helps those of you who are planning to visit soon!Before getting started, I wanted to point out that September is the best month to visit this city. You can find the cheapest airplane tickets and the weather is the nicest. Our first day there was super nice... locals told us that it usually doesn't get this sunny. So lucky right!? However, most days you can expect humidity, winds and from time to time sunshine, so pack warmer clothing as it gets very chilly quickly at nighttime. Now onto the attractions you must see... 1.

San Francisco is famous for the Golden Gate Bridge, so this should be your first stop. It was ours, on the day we landed. We were there on time for the magical sunset and even caught the full moon, which was happening on Friday the 13th. It was so BREATHTAKING!

I loved the ocean breeze and seeing the bridge mesmerized me from every viewpoint. Walking barefoot in the sand and taking all this beauty in was the perfect "welcome" this city could have ever given us!2.

We landed in the afternoon and headed straight to the Richmond District where we strolled around for Asian food to feed our starving little bodies. From there we walked to the Golden Gate Park and into the tranquil Japanese Tea Garden. Entrance is $9 per person and it's open from 9am-5pm. So beautiful and perfect for Instagram photos! But also, be sure to walk around and really enjoy the beauty. It's so different from the city with lots of greenery and relaxing sounds. Inside the Japanese Tea Garden you can find a small cafe, where you can sit and try/enjoy Japanese food. We had noodles...for the first time! So delicious! 3.

Next up... make a stop at the most significant colorful Victorian Houses called the Painted Ladies build in the 1960's. The detail of the architecture is stunning to see!Right across from the houses is a park where you can sit, have a picnic, and enjoy the view in front of you. On Saturday everyone was out and about taking advantage of the sunshine. It felt lively and you could hear so many different languages being spoken. Perfect start to the weekend for sure! Here you can definitely spend more than an hour. For us time flew by as we decided to sit front row and rest from all the walking we did earlier. 4.

From Union Square you can catch a cable car to Lombard Street. That was our initial plan, but when we got to Union Square we saw a sign that said for that same weekend the cable cars were closed, so instead we went for an Uber. We weren't able to fully get the fun experience of riding a cable car, but if you have the opportunity while in San Francisco, be sure to do it. I loved seeing the whole city from there with the steep eight hairpin turns street making it a tourist sight you wouldn't want to miss. It's the kind of beauty you think you could only see in a movie!5.

For seal-watching, mesmerizing sunsets, lots of shops/restaurants and a view of Alcatraz Island (a former prison), you've got to make your way to Pier 39. With a very lively atmosphere, you'll end up forgetting about time. Here we got to try the most popular San Franciscan dish, the clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. Really, the best thing I tasted on this trip!!! 😋 If you're a foodie and like trying new foods when travelling, you'll love it! Mark it down as something you must eat when you visit San Fran!!!6.

The BEST 360 view of San Francisco is at the top of Twin Peaks. I mean the photos tell it all, but you've really got to see it in person!!! We visited it on the last day...hiked from the city to the very top...no wonder I can barely feel my legs! hahaha Plus, did it with heavy backpacks on because hours later we were headed to the airport to catch our flight back to Vegas. LOCAS!

This is the view which will make you wish you could stay a bit longer and completely make you fall in love with San Francisco. That's how I felt the minute I caught a glimpse of it!!!7.

And our very final destination was the 163 mosaic steps created by the community that lives near by. It features flowing sea to stars design, which is stunning to watch from the bottom. These stairs became an attraction thanks to the people who made it happen. I love the idea of what people can accomplish together when they have a set idea and dedication. The power of community!And that my friends ends my travel guide to San Francisco. These were the places which made my trip so memorable! Please let me know if you've already been to San Fran and what were your personal first impressions? If you have any more questions like where to stay, I would love to help... DM me on instagram!

It has been a month of animal prints for me, so much, that every time I pass by a window or a mirror I see leopards, tigers, zebras running... LOL!

I'm telling you, it's a true jungle out there with various animals running left and right.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the wildest of them all? Yep, me! I already knew that, but to extenuate it even more I went for this sexy sheer mesh print top. Something new and different from my leopard obsession, even though they come from the same family. It's what attracts them t…
